X - cookies

In this mega marathon, I had no difficulty in finalizing the recipes for the difficult alphabets like Q, X, Z etc. Somehow these were the among the first ones to finalize. As soon as I saw the recipe for X-cookies in gayathri's space, I picked it up and finalized it for 'X'. I guess this is the first cookie I am preparing with chocolate. The cookies turned out fantastic. H said they actually looked like human beings.

X Cookies is a Sicilian cookie, also known as Cucidati. Whether you call them Cucidati, Sicilian X Cookies, or just plain Italian Fig Cookies, the end result is the same. Tender sweet dough, that’s wrapped around a very flavorful spiced fig filling. The cookie dough is so buttery and is prepared like a pie crust with cold butter so that the cookie turns out buttery and flaky. The filling has figs and apart from that it has lots of candied orange peel, chocolate, apricots and raisins.
